Inside the Night Shift: 12 Hours at Korea's Convenience Store in Gangnam
Meet Gayeon, a 24-year-old convenience store manager working the graveyard shift at a GS25 in the heart of Gangnam, Seoul. GS25 is Korea's #1 convenience store brand by revenue — and Gayeon runs one of its locations right in the middle of the country's busiest district. In this Korean Next Door mini-documentary, we follow her through a full 12-hour overnight shift to show you what most Korean convenience store videos don't: the real, unfiltered life of the person behind the counter. From midnight rushes to the quiet 4AM hours, Gayeon walks us through what it's actually like to run a convenience store after dark. We also dig into how the Korean CVS has evolved into something uniquely Korean — part bank, part pharmacy, part late-night chicken delivery hub, part community lifeline. It's a cultural institution hiding in plain sight. How does a young store manager survive the all-night shift? What happens in Gangnam between 2AM and 6AM? And how does Gayeon really feel about her job? Watch the full story to find out. 🎬 Korean Next Door is a human documentary series by Howdy Korea, bringing you intimate portraits of the people who make modern Korea tick. ▶ Subscribe for new episodes: • Korean Next Door ---- 📌 CHAPTERS 00:00 intro 00:20 heading to work 01:20 service check 02:39 delivery orders 03:40 cigarettes 05:16 logistics check up 07:36 late night dinner 10:05 CVS as safety shelter 11:15 various services 12:44 fishcake & sweet potatoes 13:31 morning wave 14:15 coffee time 15:37 way back home ---- Narration : Daniel Jongha Kim #KoreanNextDoor #korean #seoul #gangnam #koreanconveniencestore #gs25 #lifeinkorea #koreavlog #KoreaDocumentary
